The panel is a list of the HCA's preferred housing developers and contractors for the next four years. The list is free to use for government departments, NHS trusts, schools and universities, councils, housing associations and other public bodies seeking partners for residential developments on their land.

The housing delivery panel follows on from the HCA’s first and second schemes, which have delivered more than 43,500 homes via 258 schemes since 2010.

STG has been successful in all the areas it applied for; the North East, Yorkshire & Humber, North West and Midlands. The anticipate spend through the framework in these three regions amounts to some £5.3bn.

Andy Watson, Managing Director of STG commented, "We are absolutely delighted to be named on the HCA Housing Delivery Panel in all our regions of operation. We have delivered more than 1,500 new homes for around 20 housing association and private developer clients in the last three years through our land-led developments. This appointment will help us to accelerate our development programme and support the government drive for new homes across the country."
